| So... I was in Buffalo doing some shopping on the weekend, and I found this store called Torrid. It had amazing clothes and dresses. I found this dress that I absolutely loved. It is black dress off one shoulder with sparkles, organza, and it actually kinda reminded me of a ballerina dress. It falls half way down my calf. So anyways, I got this great idea that I could wear this fun dress that I absolutely love and love the way I feel in it, to the reception. I figured as we are introduced by the DJ, I could make my grand entrance in this amazing dress. But then I got to thinking... what would everyone think? It is a formal wedding in a hotel, and my FH's family is a very conservative Greek Family. If it was only my family, I would be all set and dancing the night away in a dress I loved. But I also do not want to embar*** my FH or his family. I am going to wear the white dress for the pictures and the ceremony... but is it a big deal if I wear the funky dress to the reception where we have our first dance and cake cutting etc. or is it improper? Opinions? I have attached a pic of the dress I bought too!
Had my BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING on 09/09/06

| I am wearing my wedding dress the entire night. I spent too much money to wear it just for the ceremony and pictures. If your FH's family is traditional ... they may expect to see you in your gown the entire night. I vote for wearing your wedding gown all day/night and wear your new dress on your honeymoon.

IMO, you only have 1 day in your whole life to wear a "wedding gown", I would try to wear your dress for as long as possible!!  There are plenty of other opportunities to wear the nice black dress.... but I wouldn't at my wedding. Especially if the groom's family is more traditional.

| What a great dress - I am with the others as I would wear the wedding dress the entire evening (you only get one day to be the bride in the big white dress!!). What about wearing to the rehearsal or on the honeymoon? I know it used to be the custom to change into a going away outfit so you could maybe change later in the evening (mid-way through the dancing) if you had your heart set on it...

| Call me a chicken but I would be worried about my FH's response and his traditional family's response. Maybe can you wear it to your rehersal dinner because it is super cute and maybe that would be the better place to wear it. Plus, I am guessing that your wedding dress is beautiful and you may want to wear it all day..I know I do. JJF

| Personally I would wear the wedding dress for the entire night...there will never be another time for you to wear it or anything like it for that matter There's always the idea of using your black dress as your "going away outfit" - which used to be a very popular tradition, and something his family wouldn't be "embar***ed" about. Hope you figure things out  Stacey
